Starring
Jiang Yiyang
Jiang Yiyang, twenty-three, is a delivery rider in Daan District, Taipei.
“Miss, it’s the seventh day. Same restaurant, same dish, no coriander.”
He stands in the rain, water dripping from the brim of his rain jacket, the delivery box hugged to his chest. Behind him, the light in the stairwell flickers on and off. He breathes out a puff of white mist and smiles a little sheepishly.
“I’m not trying to pry. It’s just that since the third day, every time I deliver, I guess first whether you’ll already have your chopsticks ready when you open the door.”
The hallway light suddenly goes out. He steps forward without thinking and raises the box high, using it to shield you from the rain blowing in your direction.
